I've a 19" and a 17"
both screwed u to full possible res.
works a treat... can't tell you offhand what the res is on them, will do once I'm home though.
one massive drawback though... space - 2 crts take up a hell of a space, but in winter contribute to heating the room too ;)

Yep, dual monitor here: CRT for the work, LCD (notebook) for other stuff.

i have two 19's ( :)) here at work and we looked at playing round with the res but although I have a great nvidia card it seems to govern the res across both of them??
they do look smart side by side and the same size too

i have different sizes for my 2 monitors. doesn't bother me.
helps me see how the page is going to fit on each page for the web. kinda like it.

nairn, it might sound strange but i got a 17" with 12ms response from aldi[the budget supermarket] for my mum it was £140. Speakers on board and supports dvi. i was really impressed.
i also noticed that staples here have 17" benq for a fiver more also fast reponse time 1280 x 1024 and good viewing angles.
not sure what you found

Just have your menu bar on your primary monitor

Great.. you've all helped me justify buying an over-specced monitor I probably don't truly need..
..but want so much.
Ta all! :)

yup yup two different sizes is very handy for testing sites at two different res's very quickly and efficiently.

I've got a 21 and 19 - works great. i just use the second for email and itunes and palletes.
i've got a bit of a different profile on the second monitor just to give me an idea of how the colors will shift on different monitors etc.
